Noted for its compact size and fuel-sipping attributes, the Chevy Spark is not generally known for its passenger-carrying capacity. However, this didn’t stop one primary school teacher in Uzbekistan from stuffing 25 children into her Spark earlier this month.
In a video posted online, we find ourselves in the Bukhara region of Uzbekistan. Police officers pulled over a kindergarten teacher who was transporting 25 kids home from school in her tiny Spark. In video footage taken during the incident, the Bow Tie hatchback is captured stuffed with children like a clown car at the circus. More specifically, there are six kids sitting atop one another in the front passenger seat, with another crammed into the passenger footwell.
Moving to the rear of the vehicle, there are another three children squeezed into the trunk, while the rest of the kids are packed into the back seat area. Following the traffic stop, police officers had to help the children exit the Spark, while some kids were visually upset throughout the process. Eventually, everyone was returned safely to their parents.
The driver, whose identity was not revealed by the local media or law enforcement, stated that she had never attempted to perform such an overloaded school run before. The incident was addressed by the local Traffic Police from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan during a public council meeting, which featured involvement from community members.
It’s worth noting that while a punishment was given, the exact details haven’t been released. Of course, this should go without being said, but no one should ever attempt a feat like this. Luckily, no children were injured in this incident, but when a vehicle is overloaded like this Chevy Spark was, terrible events can happen.

In the U.S. there have been many attempts by college students to fit as many as they can in a VW. They can try in a Chevy Spark, too or a Bolt.
The teacher was transporting these kids on the road… This was not a car stuffing contest
